DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of theembodiments of the disclosure apparent, the technical solutions of theembodiments will be described in a clearly and fully understandable wayin connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of thedisclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are just a part butnot all of the embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the describedembodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain otherembodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within thescope of the disclosure.

Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms usedherein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinaryskill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms“first,” “second,” etc., which are used in the description and theclaims of the present application for disclosure, are not intended toindicate any sequence, amount or importance, but distinguish variouscomponents. Also, the terms such as “a,” “an,” etc., are not intended tolimit the amount, but indicate the existence of at least one. The terms“comprise,” “comprising,” “include,” “including,” etc., are intended tospecify that the elements or the objects stated before these termsencompass the elements or the objects and equivalents thereof listedafter these terms, but do not preclude the other elements or objects.The phrases “connect”, “connected”, “coupled”, etc., are not intended todefine a physical connection or mechanical connection, but may includean electrical connection, directly or indirectly. “On,” “under,”“right,” “left” and the like are only used to indicate relative positionrelationship, and when the position of the object which is described ischanged, the relative position relationship may be changed accordingly.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, in a casewhere each circuit is implemented by an N-type transistor, the term“pull-up” means charging a node or an electrode of a transistor to allowthe absolute value of the level of the node or the electrode to beincreased, so as to implement a corresponding operation (e.g., turn-on)of the transistor; and the term “pull-down” means discharging a node oran electrode of a transistor to allow the absolute value of the level ofthe node or the electrode to be reduced, so as to implement acorresponding operation (e.g., turn-off) of the transistor.

For another example, in a case where each circuit is implemented by aP-type transistor, the term “pull-up” means discharging a node or anelectrode of a transistor to allow the absolute value of the level ofthe node or the electrode to be reduced, so as to implement acorresponding operation (e.g., turn-on) of the transistor; and the term“pull-down” means charging a node or an electrode of a transistor toallow the absolute value of the level of the node or the electrode to beincreased, so as to implement a corresponding operation (e.g., turn-off)of the transistor.

Moreover, the specific meanings of the terms “pull-up” and “pull-down”may further be accordingly adjusted based on the specific type of thetransistor, as long as the transistor can be controlled to implement thecorresponding switch function.

Currently, a gate driving circuit for OLED usually includes threesub-circuits, that is, a detecting circuit, a display circuit, and aconnecting circuit (or a gate circuit) for outputting a composite pulseof the detecting circuit and the display circuit. The circuit structureof that gate driving circuit is very complicated and cannot satisfy therequirements for a high resolution and a narrow bezel.

When compensating a sub-pixel unit in the OLED display panel, inaddition to setting a pixel compensating circuit in the sub-pixel unitfor internal compensation, external compensation may also be performedby setting a sensing transistor. When the external compensation isperformed, the gate driving circuit including shift register units needsto provide the sub-pixel unit in the display panel with a driving signalfor a scanning transistor and a driving signal for the sensingtransistor, respectively. For example, the gate driving circuit providesa scan driving signal for the scanning transistor in a display phase ofone frame, and provides a sense driving signal for the sensingtransistor in a blanking phase of one frame.

In an external compensation method, the sense driving signal output bythe gate driving circuit sequentially scans rows of sub-pixel units lineby line. For example, during a blanking phase of a first frame, a sensedriving signal for sub-pixel units of a first row of a display panel isoutput. During a blanking phase of a second frame, a sense drivingsignal for sub-pixel units of a second row of the display panel isoutput. And so on, the sense driving signals are outputted sequentiallyat a frequency of outputting the sense driving signals corresponding toone row of sub-pixel units per frame, that is, the progressivesequential compensation of the display panel is completed.

However, in a case where the above-mentioned progressive sequentialcompensation method is adopted, the following problems of poor displaymay occur. One is that there is a scanning line that moves progressivelyduring the scanning display of a plurality of frames of images. Theother one is that there are differences in the timing of externalcompensation, which may cause a large difference in brightness ofdifferent regions of the display panel. For example, when the externalcompensation is performed on the sub-pixel units in the 100th row of thedisplay panel, although the sub-pixel units in the 10th row of thedisplay panel have been externally compensated, at this time, theluminous brightness of the sub-pixel units in the 10th row may havechanged, such as a decrease in luminous brightness, which may causeuneven brightness in different regions of the display panel. Thisproblem is more pronounced in large-sized display panels.

As described above, in a case where a gate driving circuit drives adisplay panel to achieve the external compensation, the gate drivingcircuit is required to output not only a scan driving signal for adisplay phase, but also a sense driving signal for a blanking phase,that is, a blanking unit dedicated to the blanking phase is required. Inthis case, the area occupied by the gate driving circuit may berelatively large, so that a size of a bezel of a display device usingthe gate driving circuit is larger.

At least an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shiftregister unit, which includes a blanking unit, a first transmissioncircuit, a second transmission circuit, a first input-output unit, and asecond input-output unit. The blanking unit is configured to charge apull-up control node in response to a compensation selection controlsignal and input a blanking pull-up signal to a blanking pull-up node.The first input-output unit comprises a first pull-up node and a firstoutput terminal, and the second input-output unit comprises a secondpull-up node and a second output terminal. The first transmissioncircuit is electrically connected to the blanking pull-up node and thefirst pull-up node, and is configured to charge the first pull-up node,by using the blanking pull-up signal, in response to a firsttransmission signal. The second transmission circuit is electricallyconnected to the blanking pull-up node and the second pull-up node, andis configured to charge the second pull-up node, by using the blankingpull-up signal, in response to a second transmission signal. The firstinput-output unit is configured to charge the first pull-up node inresponse to a first display input signal, and is configured to output acomposite output signal to the first output terminal under control of alevel of the first pull-up node. The second input-output unit isconfigured to charge the second pull-up node in response to a seconddisplay input signal, and is configured to output the composite outputsignal to the second output terminal under control of a level of thesecond pull-up node.

The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a gate drivingcircuit, a display device, and a driving method corresponding to theshift register unit described above.

The shift register unit, the gate driving circuit, the display deviceand the driving method provided in the embodiments of the presentdisclosure can share a blanking unit, so that the display device usingthe shift register unit can reduce the size of the bezel and reduce thecost. In addition, under the premise of taking into account theprogressive sequential compensation (such as the need for progressivesequential compensation in a shutdown detection), a random compensationcan also be implemented, so that poor display problems such as scanninglines and uneven display brightness caused by progressive sequentialcompensation can be avoided.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure,the random compensation refers to an external compensation method thatis different from the progressive sequential compensation. By adoptingthe random compensation, a sense driving signal corresponding tosub-pixel units of any row in the display panel can be output randomlyduring a blanking phase of a frame. The following embodiments are thesame in this aspect and will not be repeated herein.

In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, for thepurpose of description, the term “one frame”, “each frame” or “a frame”includes a display phase and a blanking phase which are sequentiallyperformed. For example, in the display phase, the gate driving circuitoutputs a display output signal, and the display output signal can drivethe display panel from the first row to the last row to perform ascanning display of one complete image; and in the blanking phase, thegate driving circuit outputs a blanking output signal, and the blankingoutput signal can be used to drive sensing transistors in one row ofsub-pixel units in the display panel to perform external compensation onthe sub-pixel units in the row.

The embodiments of the present disclosure and examples thereof will bedescribed in detail below with reference to the drawings.

At least an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shiftregister unit 10, and as illustrated in FIG. 1, the shift register unit10 includes a blanking unit 100, a first transmission circuit 210, asecond transmission circuit 220, a first input-output unit 310, and asecond input-output unit 320. The first input-output unit 310 includes afirst pull-up node Q1 and a first output terminal OP1, and the secondinput-output unit Q2 includes a second pull-up node Q2 and a secondoutput terminal OP2. A plurality of the shift register units 10 can becascaded to create a gate driving circuit provided by an embodiment ofthe present disclosure.

The blanking unit 100 is configured to charge a pull-up control node Hin response to a compensation selection control signal and input ablanking pull-up signal to a blanking pull-up node N. For example, in adisplay phase of one frame, the blanking unit 100 can charge the pull-upcontrol node H in response to the compensation selection control signal.For example, in a display phase or a blanking phase of one frame, theblanking unit 100 can input the blanking pull-up signal to the blankingpull-up node N.

The first transmission circuit 210 is electrically connected to theblanking pull-up node N and the first pull-up node Q1, and is configuredto charge the first pull-up node Q1, by using the blanking pull-upsignal, in response to a first transmission signal. For example, thefirst transmission circuit 210 may be connected to a first transmissionsignal terminal TS1 to receive the first transmission signal. The firsttransmission circuit 210 is turned on under control of the firsttransmission signal, so that the first pull-up node Q1 can be charged byusing the blanking pull-up signal obtained by the blanking pull-up nodeN. For example, in some embodiments, the first transmission signalterminal TS1 may be a first clock signal terminal CLKA, that is, thefirst transmission signal is a first clock signal received by the firstclock signal terminal CLKA.

The second transmission circuit 220 is electrically connected to theblanking pull-up node N and the second pull-up node Q2, and isconfigured to charge the second pull-up node Q2, by using the blankingpull-up signal, in response to a second transmission signal. Forexample, the second transmission circuit 220 may be connected to asecond transmission signal terminal TS2 to receive the secondtransmission signal. The second transmission circuit 220 is turned onunder control of the second transmission signal, so that the secondpull-up node Q2 can be charged by using the blanking pull-up signalobtained by the blanking pull-up node N. For example, in someembodiments, the second transmission signal terminal TS2 may be thefirst clock signal terminal CLKA, that is, the second transmissionsignal is the first clock signal received by the first clock signalterminal CLKA.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure,charging a node (for example, the pull-up control node H, the firstpull-up node Q1, the second pull-up node Q2, etc.) means that, forexample, electrically connecting the node to a high-level voltagesignal, so that the high-level voltage signal is used to pull up thelevel of the node. Discharging (or resetting) a node means, for example,electrically connecting the node to a low-level voltage signal, so thatthe low-level voltage signal is used to pull down the level of the node.For example, a capacitor electrically connected to the node can be set,and charging or discharging the node means charging or discharging thecapacitor electrically connected to the node.

The first input-output unit 310 is configured to charge the firstpull-up node Q1 in response to a first display input signal, and isconfigured to output a composite output signal to the first outputterminal OP1 under control of a level of the first pull-up node Q1. Forexample, during a display phase of one frame, the first input-outputunit 310 can output a scan driving signal, and the scan driving signalcan drive a row of sub-pixel units in the display panel to performscanning display. For another example, during a blanking phase of oneframe, the first input-output unit 310 can output a sense drivingsignal, and the sense driving signal can be used to drive sensingtransistors in a row of sub-pixel units in the display panel to completean external compensation for the sub-pixel units of the row.

The second input-output unit 320 is configured to charge the secondpull-up node Q2 in response to a second display input signal, and isconfigured to output a composite output signal to the second outputterminal OP2 under control of a level of the second pull-up node Q2. Forexample, during a display phase of one frame, the second input-outputunit 320 can output a scan driving signal, and the scan driving signalcan drive a row of sub-pixel units in the display panel to performscanning display. For another example, during a blanking phase of oneframe, the second input-output unit 320 can output a sense drivingsignal, and the sense driving signal can be used to drive sensingtransistors in a row of sub-pixel units in the display panel to completean external compensation for the sub-pixel units of the row.

For example, some embodiments of the present disclosure further providea shift register unit 10. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the shift registerunit 10 is different from the shift register unit 10 as illustrated inFIG. 1 in that it further includes a third transmission circuit 230 anda third input-output unit 330 electrically connected to the thirdtransmission circuit 230.

For example, the third transmission circuit 230 is electricallyconnected to the blanking pull-up node N and a third pull-up node Q3,and is configured to charge the third pull-up node Q3, by using theblanking pull-up signal, in response to a third transmission signal. Thethird input-output unit 330 is configured to charge the third pull-upnode Q3 in response to a third display input signal, and is configuredto output a composite output signal to the third output terminal OP3under control of a level of the third pull-up node Q3.

A plurality of input-output units (for example, the first input-outputunit 310, the second input-output unit 320, the third input-output unit330, etc.) in the shift register unit 10 provided by some embodiments ofthe present disclosure can share one blanking unit 100, so that thecircuit structure can be simplified, and the display device using theshift register unit 10 can reduce the size of the bezel and reduce thecost.

It should be noted that FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are only two examples of thepresent disclosure. The shift register unit 10 provided by theembodiment of the present disclosure may further include moretransmission circuits and more input-output units, the number of thetransmission circuit and the number of the input-output unit can be setaccording to the actual situation, which is not limited in theembodiments of the present disclosure.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, in some embodiments of the present disclosure,the blanking unit 100 includes a blanking input circuit 110 and ablanking pull-up circuit 120.

The blanking input circuit 110 is configured to charge the pull-upcontrol node H in response to the compensation selection control signal,and to maintain a level of the pull-up control node H. For example, insome embodiments, the blanking input circuit 110 may be connected to ablanking input signal terminal STU1 and a compensation selection controlterminal OE, so that the blanking input circuit 110 can charge thepull-up control node H, under control of the compensation selectioncontrol signal input by the compensation selection control terminal OE,by using the blanking input signal input by the blanking input signalterminal STU1, and to maintain the level of the pull-up control node H.For example, the blanking input circuit 110 can charge the pull-upcontrol node H in a display phase of one frame, thereby pulling up thelevel of the pull-up control node H to a high level, and can maintainthe high level of the pull-up control node H until a blanking phase ofthe frame.

For another example, the blanking coupling circuit 130 mayfurther be connected to the first clock signal terminal CLKA to receivethe first clock signal. For example, when the pull-up control node H isat a high level, the blanking coupling circuit can pull up, by coupling,the pull-up control node H by using the second voltage or the firstclock signal, so as to avoid leakage current at the pull-up control nodeH.

The display input circuit 200 is configured to charge the first pull-upnode Q1 in response to the first display input signal. For example, insome embodiments, the display input circuit 200 may be connected to adisplay input signal terminal STU2 to receive a first display inputsignal, so that the display input circuit 200 is turned on under controlof the first display input signal. For example, the display inputcircuit 200 may further be connected to the second voltage terminal VDDto receive the second voltage. For example, during a display phase ofone frame, the display input circuit 200 is turned on under control ofthe first display input signal, so that the first pull-up node Q1 can becharged by using the second voltage.

For example, in a case where a plurality of input-output units arecascaded, the display input signal terminal STU2 of each stage of theinput-output units may be electrically connected to the output terminalof a previous second-stage input-output unit. For example, in a casewhere the output terminal includes the shift signal output terminal CRand the pixel scanning signal output terminal OUT, the display inputsignal terminal STU2 of the present-stage input-output unit may beelectrically connected to the shift signal output terminal CR of theprevious second-stage input-output unit.

In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, “a previoussecond-stage input-output unit” means a previous second input-outputunit from the present-stage input-output unit, and “a next third-stageinput-output unit” means a next third input-output unit from thepresent-stage input-output unit.

The output circuit 300 is configured to output the composite outputsignal to the first output terminal OP1 under control of the level ofthe first pull-up node Q1. For example, in some embodiments, the outputcircuit 300 may be connected to a second clock signal terminal CLKB toreceive a second clock signal, and use the second clock signal as thecomposite output signal. For example, the composite output signal mayinclude a display output signal and a blanking output signal. During adisplay phase of one frame, the output circuit 300 outputs the displayoutput signal to the first output terminal OP1 under control of thelevel of the first pull-up node Q1.

For example, when the first pull-up node Q1 is at a high level, thefirst pull-down control circuit 400 can pull down the pull-down node QBto a low level by using the low-level fifth voltage provided by thefifth voltage terminal VGL2. For another example, when the first pull-upnode Q1 is at a low level, the first pull-down control circuit 500 cancharge the pull-down node QB by using a third voltage (for example, ahigh level) input by the third voltage terminal VDD_A, so as to pull upthe pull-down node QB to a high level.

In some other examples, the first pull-down control circuit 400 mayfurther be connected to a fourth voltage terminal VDD_B to receive afourth voltage (for example, a high level). For example, the thirdvoltage terminal VDD_A and the fourth voltage terminal VDD_B can beconfigured to input a high-level voltage alternately, that is, in a casewhere the third voltage terminal VDD_A inputs a high-level voltage, thefourth voltage terminal VDD_B inputs a low-level voltage, and in a casewhere the third voltage terminal VDD_A inputs a low-level voltage, thefourth voltage terminal VDD_B inputs a high-level voltage.

For example,during a blanking phase of one frame, the second pull-down controlcircuit 600 can be turned on in response to the first clock signal, soas to control the level of the pull-down node QB by using the low-levelfifth voltage, for example, to pull down the level of the pull-down nodeQB.

In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the first input-outputunit 310 further includes a display reset circuit 800, and the displayreset circuit 800 is configured to reset the first pull-up node Q1 inresponse to a display reset signal. For example, in one example, thedisplay reset circuit 800 may be connected to a display reset signalterminal STD to receive the display reset signal, and further beconnected to the fifth voltage terminal VGL2 to receive the low-levelfifth voltage.

For example, in one example, the total resetcircuit 900 is connected to a total reset signal terminal TRST toreceive the total reset signal, and is further connected to the fifthvoltage terminal VGL2 to receive the low-level fifth voltage. Forexample, in a case where a plurality of input-output units are cascaded,before a display phase of one frame, the total reset circuit 900 in eachstage of the input-output units is turned on in response to the totalreset signal, so that the first pull-up node Q1 can be reset by usingthe low-level fifth voltage provided by the fifth voltage terminal VGL2,thereby implementing a total reset for each stage of the input-outputunits.

It should be noted that all the transistors as illustrated inFIG. 8 are described by taking N-type transistors as an example. Inaddition, the transistors as illustrated in other drawings of thepresent disclosure are also described by taking N-type transistors as anexample, and details are not described herein again.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the display input circuit 200 can beimplemented as a fourth transistor M4, a gate electrode of the fourthtransistor M4 is connected to the display input terminal STU2 to receivethe first display input signal, a first electrode of the fourthtransistor M4 is connected to the second voltage terminal VDD to receivethe second voltage, and a second electrode of the fourth transistor M4is connected to the first pull-up node Q1. For example, during a displayphase of one frame, the fourth transistor M4 is turned on under controlof the first display input signal, so that the first pull-up node Q1 canbe charged by using the second voltage.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the output circuit 300 can be implemented toinclude a fifth transistor M5, a sixth transistor M6, and a secondcapacitor C2. A gate electrode of the fifth transistor M5 is connectedto the first pull-up node Q1, a first electrode of the fifth transistorM5 is connected to the second clock signal terminal CLKB to receive thesecond clock signal and the second clock signal is used as the compositeoutput signal, and a second electrode of the fifth transistor M5 isconnected to the shift signal output terminal CR.

A first electrode of the second capacitor C2 isconnected to the first pull-up node Q1, and a second electrode of thesecond capacitor C2 is connected to the second electrode of the fifthtransistor M5. For example, when the level of the first pull-up node Q1is a high level, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 areturned on, so that the second clock signal can be output as thecomposite output signal to the shift signal output terminal CR and thepixel scanning signal output terminal OUT respectively.

For example, the third voltage terminal VDD_A and the fourth voltageterminal VDD_B can be configured to alternately input a high-levelvoltage, that is, in a case where the third voltage terminal VDD_Ainputs a high-level voltage, the fourth voltage terminal VDD_B inputs alow-level voltage, and in a case where the third voltage terminal VDD_Ainputs a low-level voltage, the fourth voltage terminal VDD_B inputs ahigh-level voltage. That is, only one of the seventh transistor M7 andthe eighth transistor M8 is in a turn-on state, which can avoidperformance drift caused by long-term turn-on of the transistor. In acase where the seventh transistor M7 or the eighth transistor M8 isturned on, the third voltage or the fourth voltage can charge thepull-down node QB, thereby pulling up the level of the pull-down node QBto a high level. In a case where the level of the first pull-up node Q1is a high level, the ninth transistor M9 is turned on.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the pull-down circuit 500 can be implementedto include a tenth transistor M10, an eleventh transistor M11, and atwelfth transistor M12. A gate electrode of the tenth transistor M10 isconnected to the pull-down node QB, a first electrode of the tenthtransistor M10 is connected to the first pull-up node Q1, and a secondelectrode of the tenth transistor M10 is connected to the fifth voltageterminal VGL2 to receive the fifth voltage.

For example, in a blanking phase of one frame, when the level of thefirst clock signal and the level of the pull-up control node H are botha high level, the thirteenth transistor M13 and the seventeenthtransistor M17 are both turned on, which can cause the pull-down node QBto be electrically connected to the fifth voltage terminal VGL2, so thatthe level of the pull-down node QB can be pulled down to a low level byusing the low-level fifth voltage.

For example, in a display phase of one frame, the fourteenthtransistor M14 can be turned on in response to the first display inputsignal, so as to pull down the level of the pull-down node QB by usingthe low-level fifth voltage. Pulling down the level of the pull-downnode QB to a low level can avoid the influence of the level of thepull-down node QB on the level of the first pull-up node Q1, so that thefourth transistor M4 can charge the first pull-up node Q1 moresufficiently during the display phase.

For example, in a case where a plurality of input-output units arecascaded, the display input signal terminal STU2 of each stage of theinput-output units may be electrically connected to the shift signaloutput terminal CR of a previous second-stage input-output unit. Thatis, the first display input signal may be a signal output by the shiftsignal output terminal CR of the previous second-stage input-outputunit.

Forexample, during a display phase of one frame, the fifteenth transistorM15 can be turned on in response to the display reset signal, so thatthe first pull-up node Q1 can be reset by using the low-level fifthvoltage. For example, in a case where a plurality of input-output unitsare cascaded, the display reset signal terminal STD of each stage of theinput-output units may be electrically connected to the shift signaloutput terminal CR of a next third-stage input-output unit. That is, thedisplay reset signal may be a signal output by the shift signal outputterminal CR of the next third-stage input-output unit.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, some other embodiments of the presentdisclosure further provide a first input-output unit 310. Compared thefirst input-output unit 310 as illustrated in FIG. 9 with the firstinput-output unit 310 as illustrated in FIG. 8, the output circuit 300further includes an eighteenth transistor M18 and a third capacitor C3,and accordingly, the pull-down circuit 500 further includes a nineteenthtransistor M19.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, a gate electrode of the eighteenth transistorM18 is connected to the first pull-up node Q1, a first electrode of theeighteenth transistor M18 is connected to a third clock signal terminalCLKC to receive a third clock signal, and a second electrode of theeighteenth transistor M18 is connected to another pixel scanning signaloutput terminal OUT2. A first electrode of the third capacitor C3 isconnected to the first pull-up node Q1, and a second electrode of thethird capacitor C3 is connected to the second electrode of theeighteenth transistor M18. For example, when the level of the firstpull-up node Q1 is a high level, the eighteenth transistor M18 is turnedon, so that the third clock signal is output to the pixel scanningsignal output terminal OUT2. For example, in one example, the thirdclock signal input from the third clock signal terminal CLKC may beconfigured to be the same as the second clock signal input from thesecond clock signal terminal CLKB; and for another example, the thirdclock signal can further be configured to be different from the secondclock signal, so that the two pixel scanning signal output terminals OUTand OUT2 can respectively output different signals, thereby improvingthe driving capability of the shift register unit and increasing thediversity of output signals.

It should be noted that in the example as illustrated in FIG. 9, theholding capability of the level of the first pull-up node Q1 can beimproved by setting the third capacitor C3. Of course, the thirdcapacitor C3 may not be provided, and the embodiments of the presentdisclosure do not limit this.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, a gate electrode of the nineteenth transistorM19 is connected to the pull-down node QB, a first electrode of thenineteenth transistor M19 is connected to the pixel scanning signaloutput OUT2, and a second electrode of the nineteenth transistor M19 isconnected to the sixth voltage terminal VGL3. For example, when thelevel of the pull-down node QB is a high level, the nineteenthtransistor M19 is turned on, so that the level of the pixel scanningsignal output terminal OUT2 can be pulled down and reset by using thelow-level sixth voltage. It should be noted that, the second electrodeof the nineteenth transistor M19 can further be configured to beconnected to other signal terminals, as long as the pixel scanningsignal output terminal OUT2 can be pulled down and reset, which is notlimited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

As described above, in the shift register units 10 provided by theembodiments of the present disclosure, the level of the pull-up controlnode H can be maintained by the first capacitor C1, and the level of thefirst pull-up node Q1 can be maintained by the second capacitor C2. Thefirst capacitor C1 and/or the second capacitor C2 may be a capacitorcomponent fabricated by a manufacturing process, for example, byfabricating a dedicated capacitor electrode. Each electrode of thecapacitor may be implemented by a metal layer, a semiconductor layer(e.g., doped polysilicon) and the like. And in some examples, bydesigning circuit wiring parameters, the first capacitor C1 and/or thesecond capacitor C2 can further be implemented by parasitic capacitancebetween the various components. The connection manner of the firstcapacitor C1 and/or the second capacitor C2 is not limited to the mannerdescribed above, and may be other suitable connection manners as long asthe level provided to the pull-up control node H or the first pull-upnode Q1 can be stored.

In a case where the level of the first pull-up node Q1 and/or the levelof the pull-up control node H is maintained at a high level, the firstelectrodes of some transistors (for example, the first transistor M1,the tenth transistor M10, the fifteenth transistor M15, the sixteenthtransistor M16, and the first transmission transistor TM1) are connectedto the first pull-up node Q1 or the pull-up control node H, and thesecond electrodes thereof are connected to a low-level signal. Even in acase where gate electrodes of these transistors are input with turn-offsignals, because there is a voltage difference between the firstelectrode and the second electrode, leakage current may occur, therebycausing the effect of maintaining the level of the pull-up node Q1and/or the level of the pull-up control node H in the shift registerunit 10 to get worse.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, taking the pull-up control node Has an example, the first electrode of the first transistor M1 isconnected to the blanking input signal terminal STU1, and the secondelectrode of the first transistor M1 is connected to the pull-up controlnode H. In a case where the level of the pull-up control node H is ahigh level and the signal input by the blanking input signal terminalSTU1 is at a low level, the pull-up control node H may leak currentthrough the first transistor M1.

In response to the above problems, as illustrated in FIG. 7 and FIG. 10,some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a circuitstructure having a leakage preventing structure. As illustrated in FIG.7 and FIG. 10, the transistors M1_b, MT1_b, MT2_b, M10_b, M15_b, M16_b,M20, and M21 are provided. In the following, the transistor M1_b will betaken as an example to describe the working principle of leakageprevention.

A gate electrode of the transistor M1_b is connected to the gateelectrode of the first transistor M1, a first electrode of thetransistor M1_b is connected to a second electrode of the transistorM20, and a second electrode of the transistor M1_b is connected to thepull-up control node H. A gate electrode of the transistor M20 isconnected to the pull-up control node H, and a first electrode of thetransistor M20 is connected to a seventh voltage terminal VB to receivea high-level seventh voltage. In a case where the pull-up control node His at a high level, the transistor M20 is turned on under control of thelevel of the pull-up control node H, so that the high-level signal inputby the seventh voltage terminal VB can be input to the first electrodeof the transistor M1_b, and cause both the first electrode of thetransistor M1_b and the second electrode of the transistor M1_b to be ata high level, so that the pull-up control node H can be prevented fromleaking through the transistor M1_b. At that time, because the gateelectrode of the transistor M1_b and the gate electrode of the firsttransistor M1 are connected, the combination of the first transistor M1and the transistor M1_b can implement the same effect as the firsttransistor M1 described above and simultaneously can have an effect ofpreventing leakage.

Similarly, as illustrated in FIG. 7, corresponding to the firsttransmission transistor MT1 and the second transmission transistor MT2,the transistor MT1_b and the transistor MT2_b may be respectivelyprovided to implement a leakage preventing structure. A gate electrodeof the transistor MT1_b and a gate electrode of the transistor MT2_b areconnected to the first clock signal terminal CLKA to receive the firstclock signal. The second electrode of the first transmission transistorMT1 and a first electrode of the transistor MT1_b are connected to afirst leakage preventing node OF1. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the firstleakage preventing node OF1 is electrically connected to the transistorM21 in the first input-output unit 310. The second electrode of thesecond transmission transistor MT2 and a first electrode of thetransistor MT2_b are connected to a second leakage preventing node OF2.The second leakage preventing node OF2 may be electrically connected toa transistor in the second input-output unit 320, for example, toimplement an leakage preventing function. Setting the transistor MT1_bcan prevent leakage of the first pull-up node Q1, and setting thetransistor MT2_b can prevent leakage of the second pull-up node Q2.

Similarly, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the transistors M10_b, M15_b, andthe transistor M16_b can implement the leakage preventing structure incombination with the transistor M21, respectively, thereby preventingthe first pull-up node Q1 from leaking. For example, a first electrodeof the transistor M21 is connected to an eighth voltage terminal VC toreceive a high-level eighth voltage. The working principle of preventingleakage at the first pull-up node Q1 is the same as the workingprinciple of preventing leakage at the pull-up control node H describedabove, and details are not described herein again.

As illustrated in FIG. 11, some other embodiments of the presentdisclosure further provide another first input-output unit 310. Comparedthe first input-output unit 310 as illustrated in FIG. 11 with the firstinput-output unit 310 as illustrated in FIG. 10, a second pull-down nodeQB2 is added. In order to work with the second pull-down node QB2,transistors M22, M22_b, M9_b, M13_b, M17_b, M14_b, M11_b, M12_b, andM19_b are added accordingly. It should be noted that the secondelectrode of the eighth transistor M8 is no longer connected to thepull-down node QB, but is connected to the second pull-down node QB2.The transistor M22_b is a leakage preventing transistor provided toprevent the first pull-up node Q1 from leaking.

In the first input-output unit 310 as illustrated in FIG. 11, theworking principles of the transistors M22, M22_b, and M9_b arerespectively similar to the working principles of the transistors M10,M10_b, and M9. The working principles of the transistors M13_b, M17_b,and M14_b are respectively similar to the working principles of thetransistors M13, M17, and M14. The working principles of the transistorsM11_b, M12_b, and M19_b are respectively similar to the workingprinciples of the transistors M11, M12, and M19, and details are notdescribed herein again.

In the shift register unit 10 provided by the embodiment of the presentdisclosure, by providing the second pull-down node QB2 and thecorresponding transistors, the performance of the shift register unit 10can be further improved. For example, when charging the first pull-upnode Q1, the level of the pull-down node QB and the level of the secondpull-down node QB2 can be better at a low level, so as not to affect thelevel of the first pull-up node Q1, and to ensure the charging of thefirst pull-up node Q1 more sufficient. For another example, in a casewhere the shift register unit 10 does not need to output, the noises ofthe first pull-up node Q1 and the output terminals (CR, OUT, OUT2) canbe further reduced to avoid the abnormal output.

FIG. 12 illustrates a shift register unit 10 according to an embodimentof the present disclosure. The first transmission transistor MT1 isconnected to the first input-output unit 310 through the first pull-upnode Q1, and the second transmission transistor MT2 is connected to thesecond input-output unit 320 through the second pull-up node Q2. Forexample, the first input-output unit 310 in FIG. 12 may adopt any one ofthe first input-output units provided by the embodiments of the presentdisclosure. For example, the first input-output unit 310 may adopt anycircuit structure as illustrated in FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, and FIG.11. It should be noted that, the circuit structure of the firstinput-output unit 310 is described in the embodiment of the presentdisclosure, and the circuit structure of the second input-output unit320 may be the same as the circuit structure of the first input-outputunit 310. The embodiments of the present disclosure include but are notlimited to this, for example, the circuit structure of the secondinput-output unit 320 may be different from the circuit structure of thefirst input-output unit 310 as long as corresponding functions can beimplemented.

It should be noted that each of the transistors used in the embodimentsof the present disclosure may be a thin film transistor, a field effecttransistor or other switching component having the same characteristics.In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the thin film transistoris taken as an example for description. The source electrode and drainelectrode of the transistor used here may be structurally symmetrical,so that the source electrode and the drain electrode may be structurallyindistinguishable. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, inorder to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor except thegate electrode, one electrode is directly described as the firstelectrode, and the other electrode is described as the second electrode.In addition, the transistors can be divided into N-type and P-typetransistors according to the characteristics of the transistors. In acase where the transistor is the P-type transistor, the turn-on voltageis a low level voltage (e.g., 0V, −5V, −10V, or other suitable voltage),and the turn-off voltage is a high level voltage (e.g., 5V, 10V, orother suitable voltage). In a case where the transistor is the N-typetransistor, the turn-on voltage is a high level voltage (for example,5V, 10V or other suitable voltage), and the turn-off voltage is a lowlevel voltage (for example, 0V, −5V, −10V or other suitable voltage).

In addition, it should be noted that the transistors used in the shiftregister unit 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosureare all described by taking the N-type transistor as an example.

A1, A2, A3, and A4 in FIG. 13represent the input-output units, for example, the four input-outputunits can all adopt the circuit structure in FIG. 9. It should be notedthat, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cascade of theshift register unit 10 means that the input-output units in the shiftregister unit 10 are cascaded, and the blanking units in different shiftregister units 10 are not cascaded.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 13, each shift register unit 10includes two input-output units. In a case where the gate drivingcircuit 20 is used to drive a display panel, the output terminal of eachinput-output unit may be electrically connected to one row of sub-pixelunits in the display panel, respectively. For example, the input-outputunits A1, A2, A3, and A4 may be electrically connected to a first row, asecond row, a third row, and a fourth row of sub-pixel units,respectively.

That is, the two input-output unitsincluded in the shift register unit 10 may be not adjacent.

For example, in some other embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 14, theshift register unit 10 may further include four input-output units (A1,A2, A3, and A4), and the four input-output units are electricallyconnected to the blanking unit 100 through the first transmissioncircuit 210, the second transmission circuit 220, the third transmissioncircuit 230, and the fourth transmission circuit 240, respectively.

The gate driving circuit provided in the embodiments of the presentdisclosure can share a blanking unit, so that the display device usingthe gate driving circuit can reduce the size of the bezel and reduce thecost.

The following uses the gate driving circuit 20 as illustrated in FIG. 14as an example to describe signal lines in the gate driving circuit 20.

As illustrated in FIG. 14, the gate driving circuit 20 further includesa first sub-clock signal line CLK_1, a second sub-clock signal lineCLK_2, a third sub-clock signal line CLK_3, and a fourth sub-clocksignal line CLK_4.

As described above, the gate driving circuit provided by the embodimentof the present disclosure may adopt a 4CLK clock signal, so that thesignal waveforms output by the adjacent input-output units in the gatedriving circuit may overlap, for example, thereby increasingpre-charging time. The embodiment of the present disclosure does notlimit the type of the clock signal, for example, clock signal such as6CLK, 8CLK, etc. may also be adopted.

As illustrated in FIG. 14, the gate driving circuit 20 further includesan eighth sub-clock signal line CLK_8, a ninth sub-clock signal lineCLK_9, a tenth sub-clock signal line CLK_10, and an eleventh sub-clocksignal line CLK_11.

As illustrated in FIG. 14, the gate driving circuit 20 further includesa fifth sub-clock signal line CLK_5, a sixth sub-clock signal lineCLK_6, and a seventh sub-clock signal line CLK_7. Each blanking unit 100in the gate driving circuit 20 is connected to the fifth sub-clocksignal line CLK_5 to receive the compensation selection control signal.For example, each blanking unit 100 in the gate driving circuit 20 isconnected to the fifth sub-clock signal line CLK_5 through thecompensation selection control terminal OE; each input-output unit isconnected to the sixth sub-clock signal line CLK_6 to receive the totalreset signal, and for example, each input-output unit is connected tothe sixth sub-clock signal line CLK_6 through the total reset signalterminal TRST; and each input-output unit is connected to the seventhsub-clock signal line CLK_7 to receive the first clock signal, and forexample, each input-output unit is connected to the seventh sub-clocksignal line CLK_7 through the first clock signal terminal CLKA.

It should be noted that the cascade relationship as illustrated in FIG.14 is only an example, and according to the description of the presentdisclosure, other cascade relationships may further be adopted accordingto the actual situation.

For example, in some embodiments, the input-output unit in the gatedriving circuit 20 as illustrated in FIG. 14 adopts the circuitstructure as illustrated in FIG. 9, and the blanking unit 100 in thegate driving circuit 20 adopts the circuit structure as illustrated inFIG. 6, in this case, FIG. 15 illustrates a timing diagram of signalscorresponding to the gate driving circuit as illustrated in FIG. 14 inoperation.

In FIG. 15, H<5> represents the pull-up control node H in the blankingunit 100 electrically connected to the fifth-stage input-output unit inthe gate driving circuit 20, and Q<1>, Q<5>, Q<6>, Q<7>, and Q<8>respectively represent the pull-up node Q (that is, the first pull-upnode Q1 as illustrated in FIG. 9) in the first-stage input-output unit,the fifth-stage input-output unit, the sixth-stage input-output unit,the seventh-stage input-output unit, and the eighth-stage input-outputunit of the gate driving circuit 20. OUT<1> (CR<1>), OUT<7> (CR<7>), andOUT<8> (CR<8>) respectively represent the pixel scanning signal outputterminal OUT (shift signal output terminal CR) in the first-stageinput-output unit, the seventh-stage input-output unit, and theeighth-stage input-output unit of the gate driving circuit 20, andOUT2<7> and OUT2<8> respectively represent the pixel scanning signaloutput terminal OUT2 in the seventh-stage input-output unit, and theeighth-stage input-output unit of the gate driving circuit 20. 1Frepresents the first frame, DS represents the display phase in the firstframe, and BL represents the blanking phase in the first frame. Itshould be noted that, STU2 in FIG. 15 represents the display inputsignal terminal in the first-stage input-output unit.

In addition, it should be noted that as illustrated in FIG. 15, thethird voltage terminal VDD_A is input with a low-level voltage, and thefourth voltage terminal VDD_B is input with a high-level voltage, butthe embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Thesignal levels in the signal timing diagram as illustrated in FIG. 15 areonly illustrative and do not represent real level values.

In the following, the working principle of the gate driving circuit 20as illustrated in FIG. 14 will be described with reference to the signaltiming diagram in FIG. 15.

Prior to the start of the first frame 1F, the fifth sub-clock signalline CLK_5 and the sixth sub-clock signal line CLK_6 provide ahigh-level signal. Because the compensation selection control terminalOE of each blanking unit 100 is connected to the fifth sub-clock signalline CLK_5, the first transistor M1 in each blanking unit 100 is turnedon. At the same time, because the blanking input signal terminal STU1 isinput with a low-level signal, the pull-up control node H in eachblanking unit 100 can be reset. Because the total reset signal terminalTRST of each blanking unit 100 is connected to the sixth sub-clocksignal line CLK_6, the sixteenth transistor M16 in each blanking unit100 is turned on to reset the pull-up node Q of each blanking unit 100.

Because the fourth voltage terminal VDD_B is input with a high-levelsignal, the eighth transistor M8 is turned on, the level of thepull-down node QB is charged to a high level. The high level of thepull-down node QB causes the tenth transistor M10 to be turned on, sothat the level of the pull-up node Q can be further pulled down to a lowlevel.

In the display phase DS of the first frame 1F, the operation of thefirst-stage input-output unit is described as follows.

In a first phase P1, the display input signal terminal STU2 of thefirst-stage input-output unit is input with a high level, and the fourthtransistor M4 is turned on. Therefore, the high level input by thesecond voltage terminal VDD can charge the pull-up node Q<1> through thefourth transistor M4, the level of the pull-up node Q<1> is pulled up toa high level, and the high level of the pull-up node Q<1> can bemaintained by the second capacitor C2. The fifth transistor M5 and thesixth transistor M6 are turned on under control of the level of thepull-up node Q<1>, but because the second clock signal terminal CLKB(connected to the first sub-clock signal line CLK1) is input with alow-level signal in the first phase P1, both the shift signal outputterminal CR<1> and the pixel scanning signal output terminal OUT<1>output the low-level signal. In the first phase P1, the pre-charging ofthe pull-up node Q<1> is completed.

In a second phase P2, the second clock signal terminal CLKB is inputwith a high-level signal, and the level of the pull-up node Q<1> isfurther pulled up because of a bootstrap effect, so that the fifthtransistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 keep being turned on, and boththe shift signal output terminal CR<1> and the pixel scanning signaloutput terminal OUT<1> output the high-level signal. For example, thehigh-level signal output by the shift signal output terminal CR<1> canbe used for scanning shift of adjacent shift register units(input-output units), and the high-level signal output by the pixelscanning signal output terminal OUT<1> can be used to drive thesub-pixel units in the display panel to perform display.

In a third phase P3, the second clock signal terminal CLKB is input witha low-level signal, at the same time, because the pull-up node Q<1> ismaintained at a high level, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixthtransistor M6 keep being turned on, and both the shift signal outputterminal CR<1> and the pixel scanning signal output terminal OUT<1>output the low-level signal. Due to the bootstrap effect of the secondcapacitor C2, the level of the pull-up node Q<1> also decreases.

In a fourth phase P4, because the display reset signal terminal STD ofthe first-stage input-output unit is connected to the shift signaloutput terminal of the fourth-stage input-output unit, the shift signaloutput terminal of fourth-stage input-output unit outputs a high-levelsignal in this phase. Therefore, the display reset signal terminal STDof first-stage input-output unit is input with a high-level signal, thefifteenth transistor M15 is turned on, the level of the pull-up nodeQ<1> is pulled down to a low level, thereby resetting the pull-up nodeQ<1>. Because the level of the pull-up node Q<1> is a low level, theninth transistor M9 is turned off, and the high-level signal input bythe fourth voltage terminal VDD_B can charge the pull-down node QB. Thelevel of the pull-down node QB is charged to a high level, so that thetenth transistor M10 is turned on to further perform reset on thepull-up node Q<1>. Simultaneously, the eleventh transistor M11 and thetwelfth transistor M12 are turned on, and the level of the shift signaloutput terminal CR<1> and the level of the pixel scanning signal outputterminal OUT<1> are further pulled down to be reset.

After the first-stage input-output unit drives the sub-pixels in thefirst row in the display panel to complete the display, accordingly, thesecond-stage input-output unit, the third-stage input-output unit andthe like progressively drive the sub-pixel units in the display panel tocomplete the display driving of one frame. Here, the display phase DS ofthe first frame 1F ends.

In addition, the pull-up control node H is charged in the display phaseDS of the first frame 1F. For example, in a case where the seventh rowof sub-pixel units needs to be compensated in the first frame 1F, thedisplay phase DS of the first frame 1F also performs the followingoperations.

In a fifth phase P5, the fifth sub-clock signal line CLK_5 is providedwith the same signal as the shift signal output terminal of thefifth-stage input-output unit. When the shift signal output terminal ofthe fifth-stage input-output unit outputs a high-level signal, thecompensation selection control terminal OE of the blanking unit 100 isinput with a high-level signal, and the first transistor M1 is turned on(as illustrated in FIG. 6). In addition, the blanking input signalterminal STU1 may be connected to the shift signal output terminal ofthe fifth-stage input-output unit, so that the high-level signal inputby the blanking input signal terminal STU1 charges the pull-up controlnode H<5>, thereby pulling the level of the pull-up control node H<5> toa high level.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned charging process for thepull-up control node H<5> is only an example, and the embodiments of thepresent disclosure include but are not limited thereto. For example, theblanking input signal terminal STU1 of the blanking unit 100 may also beconnected to the shift signal output terminal of the third-stage orfourth-stage input-output unit, and in addition, the timing of thesignal provided to the fifth sub-clock signal line CLK_5 may be the sameas the timing of the signal provided to the blanking input signalterminal STU1.

The high level of the pull-up control node H<5> can be maintained untilthe blanking phase BL of the first frame 1F. In a case where it isnecessary to compensate the seventh row of sub-pixel units in the firstframe 1F, the following operations are performed in the blanking phaseBL of the first frame 1F.

In a sixth phase P6, the seventh sub-clock signal line CLK_7 provides ahigh-level signal. Because the first clock signal terminal CLKA isconnected to the seventh sub-clock signal line CLK_7, the first clocksignal is at a high level in this phase, the four transmission circuitsin FIG. 14 are all turned on, and the high-level second voltage cancharge the pull-up nodes Q<5>, Q<6>, Q<7>, and Q<8> simultaneously topull up the level of the pull-up nodes Q<5>, Q<6>, Q<7>, and Q<8> to ahigh level.

It should be noted that in the sixth phase, only the transmissioncircuit connected to the seventh-stage input-output unit may be turnedon, so that only the level of the pull-up node Q<7> is pulled up to ahigh level.

In a seventh stage P7, the second clock signal terminal CLKB (connectedto the third sub-clock signal line CLK_3) in the seventh-stageinput-output unit is input with a high-level signal. The level of thepull-up node Q<7> is further pulled up due to the bootstrap effect, thefifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 in the seventh-stageinput-output unit are turned on, and the high-level signal input fromthe second clock signal terminal CLKB in the seventh-stage input-outputunit can be output to the shift signal output terminal CR<7> and thepixel scanning signal output terminal OUT<7>. For example, the signaloutput from the pixel scanning signal output terminal OUT<7> can be usedto drive sensing transistors in the sub-pixel units in the display panelto achieve the external compensation. In addition, the signal input fromthe third clock signal terminal CLKC can be output to the pixel scanningsignal output terminal OUT2<7>. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the signal ofOUT2<7> can be different from the signal of OUT<7>, thereby improvingthe driving capability of the gate driving circuit to meet diverserequirements.
